The Grand Marais Art Colony offers a unique opportunity Jan. 26 – Feb. 1. Artists are invited to take part in a winter arts retreat at Camp Menogyn on the Gunflint Trail.
The Grand Marais Art Colony invites photographers and painters to the Winter Arts Festival Retreat – Jan. 26 – Feb 1, 2013. The festival includes an exhibit at the Art Colony from Feb. 1 – 24.
Art Colony Executive Director Amy Demmer issued the invitation. She said, “Join other photographers and painters on a northern retreat to capture the glory of winter in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. Get your creative juices flowing as you are inspired by the serene winter landscape and community of artists.”
Participants in the winter retreat will stay at Camp Menogyn ($40/night which includes three hot meals each day as well as unlimited coffee and tea) for as many days as fits your schedule.
Activities are up to the participant— skiing, snowshoeing, dog sledding, sauna, ping-pong, art critique are all optional. Days are generally spent taking pictures or painting, with evenings around the wood stove playing games and connecting with other artists.
The retreat culminates in an exhibit of artwork at the Grand Marais Art Colony in February.
